Handpainted Zuan Design (3)

Mid 20th century  hand painted  fabric design  or zuan.  34.5cm x 54 cm . This  could be kimono fabric but my feeling is that it's an obi design. It  features traditional fan, bird  and floral motifs.   Original zuan  were usually done on paper and often have pencil marks and notations - this one is painted  on a very fine silk  gauze and has no notations.  It's  loosely attached to a paper backing.  The colours are still fresh and lovely.  Beautiful to frame.
